have failed, possibly a hot spare. You have 6 drives and only 4 online

Hi, This is the explanation of the status USED:-
A physical drive has a USED status when it was once part of a logical
drive but no longer is. This can happen, for instance, when a drive in a
RAID 5 array is replaced by a spare drive and the logical drive is
rebuilt with the new drive. If the removed drive is later reinstalled in
the array and scanned, the drive status is identified as USED because
the drive still has data on it from a logical drive.
When a logical drive is deleted properly, this user information is
erased and the drive status is shown as FRMT rather than USED. A drive
with FRMT status has been formatted with either 64 KB or 256 MB of
reserved space for storing controller-specific information, but has no
user data on it.
If you remove the reserved space using the "view and edit Drives" menu,
the drive status changes to NEW.

COPYING
The logical drive is in the process of copying from another drive.
GLOBAL
The drive is a global spare drive.

INITING
The drive is initializing.

ON-LINE
The drive is in good condition.

REBUILD
The drive is rebuilding.

STAND-BY
Local spare drive or global spare drive. If the drive is a local spare,
the LG_DRV column displays the drive number of the logical drive to
which the spare is assigned. If the drive is a global spare, the LG_DRV
column displays GLOBAL.

NEW DRV
The new drive has not been configured to any logical drive or as a spare
drive.

USED DRV
The drive was previously configured as part of a logical drive from
which it has been removed; it still contains data from that logical
drive.

FRMT DRV
The drive has been formatted with reserved space allocated for
controller-specific information.

BAD
Failed drive.

ABSENT
Drive slot is not occupied or the drive is defective and cannot be
detected.

Hi, Do you have access to SUN? If you so, the document you want is
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3711-10.You can configure the disk as a global hot spare then delete the hot
spare, and the status will change. For both disks.
sccli> configure global-spare disk
sccli> unconfigure global-spare disk

Hi,
I would suggest you to logged call with sun as you are new to storage. As per my past experience this storage has some firmware related issues and due to that it is showing one disk failed in LD. Please take your data backup before your proceed to upgrade the firmware.

One of the physical disks in the RAID5 logical drive failed. We replaced the disk physically. After replacing, I ran show disks in the sccli session. The disk shows NONE under LD column and USED under Status column. How can I put it back to the RAID5 ld?
